3.62 Exercise 3.62

Dividing a series S1 by series S 2 is equivalent to multiplying S1 by the inverse of S2. This can be expressed succinctly with the definitions mul-series and invert-unit-series:

(define (div-series s1 s2)
  (if (= (stream-car s2) 0)
      (error "Cannot divide by 0")
      (mul-series s1 (invert-unit-series s2))))

We can use div-series to define the series for tan, which is equivalent to the series for cosine divided by the series for sine:

(define tangent-series (div-series sine-series cosine-series))
